UPDATED: The Daily News got duped. Below you will find a blog post that contains a Super Bowl prediction by Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel and information about Eagles defensive end Trent Cole posted on Twitter pages that were presented as if they were written by the players. An Eagles spokesman said Monday that neither player has a Twitter account. “We spoke to both players,” spokesman Derek Boyko said. “They were misrepresented. It was not their posts. They don’t belong to those Web sites.” The Daily News apologizes to Samuel, Cole, the Eagles and our readers.

Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel and defensive end Trent Cole have joined the Twitter revolution in the last week and Asante, in particular, seems to be enjoying the interaction, especially for a guy who rarely talks to the media other than after games. (This is a post about athletes and Twitter and we won't even go on about Drew Rosenhaus.)

Samuel has jumped right in,with his prediction for the Eagles: "this is about to be a superbowl winning season fareal."

"Defence wins championships," declare several other posts

In other predictions, Samuel says Jeremy Maclin will be one of the top five rookies in the league.

He also talks about his training runs to stay in shape, promotes buying Eagles tickets and talks about his struggles playing the Madden video game.
